{"product_id":"rooibos-red-herbal-tea","title":"ARIEL Red Rooibos","description":"\u003cp\u003eRooibos is South Africa's famous red bush, and this is the pure, unblended version. It isn't a true tea at all – it comes from \u003cem\u003eAspalathus linearis\u003c\/em\u003e, a needle-leaved plant in the legume family that grows only in the Cederberg mountains – so it's completely caffeine-free, with a deep red cup and a naturally sweet, mellow character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cup is a striking red and smells warm and honeyed. Rooibos is naturally sweet and a little woody, with notes of honey and a soft, rounded body – no bitterness and no astringency, however long it steeps. It's comforting on its own, takes milk and honey happily, and makes a smooth base for iced tea or a latte. With no caffeine, it's as good at night as in the morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRooibos grows only in the Cederberg region north of Cape Town, in rocky soils and a hot, dry climate found nowhere else. It's still harvested largely by hand, then bruised, left to oxidise and dried in the sun, which deepens both its colour and its sweetness. The Khoisan people of the region have made it a traditional beverage for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBrewing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBring fresh water to 95 °C and steep 2.5 g (about one teaspoon) for 5 to 7 minutes. Rooibos is forgiving – it won't turn bitter, so give it the full time or longer for the deepest colour and flavour; the same leaves give a second cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red rooibos leaves.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormats:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 g loose leaf, 1 kg loose leaf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaffeine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Caffeine-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification \u003c\/strong\u003e: Kosher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoundation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Humaniterra Foundation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TERRA COFFEE AND TEA LTD","offers":[{"title":"100 g loose leaf","offer_id":40901010718895,"sku":"TARIORITIZA01F100X","price":9.55,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 kg loose leaf","offer_id":40901010751663,"sku":"TARIORITIZA01F001","price":84.15,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0573\/3321\/9503\/files\/Tisane_Rooibos_Rouge_1KG.jpg?v=1763059003","url":"https:\/\/cafeterra.ca\/products\/rooibos-red-herbal-tea","provider":"Terra Café et Thé Ltée","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
